CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT SAT. SEPT. 6 2025
A Cello Celebration!
Consortium Aurora Borealis is back in action and is most pleased to present ‘A Cello Celebration’ for your enjoyment a special concert with an all-Italian theme. Cellists Peter Cosbey and Marc Palmquist join forces to charm you as they open our 47th concert season performing duos and solos by 18th-century Italian composers Luigi Boccherini Salvatore Lanzetti Giovanni Battista Cirri and Joseph Dall’Abaco who were all remarkable virtuoso cellists in their day. Both virtuosic and lyrical elements will be explored as the unique timbres and character of the cello are exploited. We also include music by famed composers Vivaldi and Viotti as we move stylistically through the Baroque to the Classical period.
Marc recently retired after holding the position of Principal Cellist of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra for the past forty years. He has performed with Consortium since 1985 when he first arrived in town. Nor is Peter a stranger to Consortium where he continues to enthrall audiences with his virtuosity rich tone and expressive style. Both performers bring their considerable gifts and love for their instrument. We are delighted that they will share our concert platform in this tribute to the cello even as they have shared musically as stand partners in the orchestra over the years. There will be a ballot draw at intermission for a $75 gift card to Giorg Cucina e Barra in keeping with our Italian theme!
This concert is co-sponsored by Lakehead Printing; Tbaytel; Hilda Postenka; Jaro Kotalik and Louisa Pedri.
